Good day. At the moment we are trying to send a conversion via the UploadOfflineConversion method (google ads api https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/samples/upload-offline-conversion). But this method needs a GCLID parameter. But where can I get it if we do all the manipulations on the Google Ads Test Account?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your concern.

If you want to upload offline conversions on a Google Ads test account, then I am afraid that this is not possible. The reason is GCLID is generated when an event happened on your live ads that are serving in Google networks but Google Ads test account does not serving live ads. Those GCLIDs should also be uploaded on the account where it belongs and generated.
